“Manitas” are pig’s trotters; recipes for these were likely introduced in Mexico by the Spaniards. My preparation resulted in a super delicious rich and aromatic flavored stew. You will be surprised by this recipe; step out of your comfort zone and try it.

Have you noticed how the greens, yellows, and reds of native Mexican foods like tomatillos, squash and chile are so in-synch to Mexican art and architecture? My clattering in the kitchen creating Mexican food is an innate experience in identity (Identidad) to Mexico’s culture and rituals.

I get really excited and zoned-out mixing and matching textures, colors, flavors, aromas and anticipating an outcome that will turn out to be magical and shouts out - “cocina Identidad”.
